Of course, the olympics is the main goal for the Norwegians.
But since they can fit in Kona after the olympics (and if Casper and Kristian qualify) it is an added bonus to the season.

Blummenfelt has twice been under 3.30 on 70.3. Both times with a 1.07.00 or faster run.
Casper has twice done 3.33 on 70.3.

Will they be a factor at Kona?
I do not know.
But it is cool that they are not afraid to bridge over.

They are Olympic distance athletes first and foremost.

If you want to know how they are training.
